description
Equally mesmerizing and disconcerting, the minimalistic yet highly energetic canvases by Gérard Quenum, interrogate us on notions of humanism, societal conundrums, grief and the afterlife.
Featuring chromatically pared down figures evolving within abstracted vacuities, permeated by primary colours, Quenum's paintings function as a Rorschach test of sorts, allowing for the extrapolation of myriads of potential scenarios unfolding inside the viewer’s own mind.
In his practice, the critically acclaimed artist strives to materialise the intangible essence of life. By exerting the deep seated and rich historical traditions of his native land, Quenum masterfully peers into the future.
